Chapter 159: Chapter 159: Depend on Each Other for Survival Chapter 159: Chapter 159: Depend on Each Other for Survival At noon, the four of them returned to the Fruit Store and found that the premium fruits had sold out.
But there were still many custors in the shop.
The allure of a 30% discount on regular fruits was significant, and who could resist the free air conditioning?
Lunch was still prepared by ng Chuyue and Shen Ci.
Han Muyang and Zou Xiaojun initially wanted to help, but Shen Ci sent them upstairs to cram for physics.
By then, last-minute studying was futile; Shen Ci was rely preventing them from spending too much ti with ng Chuyue and possibly developing inappropriate thoughts.
The al they made was very simple.
As they didn’t need to prepare food for Tong Wen and the others, it required less effort.
There was a plate of stead pork with rice flour, a plate of stead eels, a plate of minced at with eggplant, a plate of scrambled tomatoes with eggs, and a pot of spare rib soup.
However, although they had only prepared food for one table, ng Chuyue did not join Han Muyang and the others on the third floor to eat; she chose to dine alone on the second floor.
An hour after the afternoon exams, the regular fruits at the Fruit Store also sold out.
Most of the buyers were the examinees’ parents.
Even though the taste of the 30% discounted regular fruits couldn’t match that of the premium fruits, they seed to carry an air of excellence that made them irresistible to the buyers.
If it weren’t for Han Muyang and Zou Xiaojun’s presence, Shen Ci would definitely have stayed the night, but not wanting them to get too familiar with ng Chuyue, he gritted his teeth, used the excuse of needing to go ho imdiately, and took them both with him as he left.
Tong Wen and the others settled their accounts and returned ho to rest.
They, too, were exhausted from the long day.
The next day, the shop resud its normal operations.
At this ti, ng Chuyue finally shared with Tong Wen and Xia Ping the news that Shen Ci was participating in this year’s college entrance examination.
It wasn’t intentional; she was responding to Xia Ping’s question, “Why is Shen Ci hanging out with those two students?”
Upon hearing this, both Tong Wen and Xia Ping fell into deep thought.
After a while, Tong Wen asked ng Chuyue, “Yueyue, do you think I made a mistake by dropping out of school?”
Xia Ping chid in, “Mmm, mmm, mmm, I wanted to ask the sa question.”
ng Chuyue looked at them gently, “Whether dropping out was a mistake or not, I can’t say.
But one thing is for sure, the more you learn, the better, and that’s never wrong.”
Although ng Chuyue’s words were a bit convoluted, Tong Wen and Xia Ping understood instantly.
Tong Wen clenched her fists, “Yueyue, I’ve decided to repeat my senior year and then take the college entrance exam next year.
I’ve realized that even if I don’t get into a university and only get into a junior college, it would still be beneficial.
Besides, there’s always the option to do a junior-to-university transfer later.”
“I support you,” ng Chuyue affird.
Xia Ping hesitated for a mont, “I also want to repeat the year, but I can’t bear to leave this job.
Wuu, my grades aren’t good, and I’m afraid that if I fail the repeat or after graduating from a junior college, I won’t be able to find a better job than this one.”
Tong Wen couldn’t help but laugh and cry, “Actually, I can’t bear it either.”
ng Chuyue couldn’t hold back a smile, “Just go ahead and repeat the year.
If that day ever cos, your job is on .
I guarantee it won’t be worse than what you have now.”
Instantly, Xia Ping’s eyes lit up with excitent, “Alright.”
ng Chuyue had the intention of tutoring Tong Wen and Xia Ping, but she knew now was not the ti to ntion it.
She believed that once her own exam results were out, they would co asking on their own.
…
In the afternoon, Shen Ci accompanied ng Chuyue to her mansion to pick up the goods.
Finding the place empty except for three thousand catties of premium fruits in the living room on the first floor did not surprise him.
ng Chuyue’s boss was wealthy and influential, so it was to be expected that their operations were shrouded in mystery.
Opening a few boxes of fruit, ng Chuyue said to Shen Ci, “These are all quite large, you can sell them at a high price without any pressure.
There are three thousand catties in total here; if you can handle it, take it all, if not, leave the rest for .”
Suppressing his emotions, Shen Ci said, “I can handle it.
Thank you, Chuyue.”
ng Chuyue smiled and shook her head, “You know my family’s situation.
You and I, right now, we’re like siblings who rely on each other.
Don’t be formal with .”
Shen Ci, “…”
